Western countries may settle on deploying troops to Ukraine in two to three months, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said today.
When asked about the possibility of Western countries deploying troops to Ukraine, Orban informed Kossuth Radio, "The most alarming thing is that what was unimaginable two or three months ago becomes an everyday event two or three months later."
"I remember when the Germans said that they were not ready to send deadly weapons to Ukraine, we would rather send equipment, helmets ... And now they say that Germany should transfer to Ukraine missile systems that can be used to strike as far as Moscow or, at least, far into Russia," he added.
Orban emphasized that what is currently insane and impossible to believe will turn into a reality in two or three months.

France preparing to send 2,000 troops to Ukraine: SVR
France is prepared to send an army to Ukraine, with roughly 2,000 service members deployed in the first stage, as per Russian intelligence.
According to Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Director Sergei Naryshkin on March 19, Paris has plans to send an army unit to Ukraine, deploying nearly 2,000 troops in the beginning stage.
Naryshkin divulged that France believes the number of French troops dead in Ukraine is now "above a psychological level."
He accused the current French government of disregarding the lives of "ordinary Frenchmen", emphasizing that SVR intelligence indicates that a "detachment is already being readied to deploy to Ukraine. It would be roughly 2,000 persons at the beginning stage."
He said that publishing sensitive data on French losses may lead to unrest from French citizens.
Russia: Foreign troops in the Ukrainian army an 'open secret'
Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky, on March 16 coined foreign troops' presence in Ukraine an 'open secret' that was dubbed a fact before the Polish foreign minister revealed the deployment of NATO forces in Kiev.
In a statement for Sputnik, Polyansky said "It's an open secret that Western military personnel are present in Ukraine. We know not only through the Polish foreign minister but other sources."
He also further supported his statement by referencing the leaked conversation between German military senior officers, saying it is a "much louder revelation" than what the Polish minister said.
A recently leaked German recording indicated that British soldiers were in Kiev assisting Ukrainian troops by firing long-range Storm Shadow missiles.
The leak further detailed how British forces collaborated with Ukraine on deploying Storm Shadow missiles against targets up to 150 miles behind Russian lines.
